Elon Musk’s $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter is temporarily on hold, as of today, with the apparent concern regarding Musk’s need of seeing within 5% of Twitter users being bots. Twitter shares dropped after Elon Musk tweeted he was putting the $44 billion deal on hold. CNN’s Rahel Solomon and Brian Stelter weigh in on what Musk’s motivation could be, in the video published on May 13, 2022, “Elon Musk tweets that his Twitter deal is on hold“, below:

Elon Musk said that his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter has been put on hold.

Below are text exchanges between two friends, in italics, between A & B:
A: “Hope Musk focuses his talent on engineering stuff rather than muddy cultural war like freedom of speech. His bid of Twitter is on hold as of this morning. Wish he decides to pull the plug.”
B: “Without Freedom of Speech, there would be no America. Even UK does not allow the kind of Freedom of Speech as that of America.” Elon Musk, Battling For Free Speech Via Twitter – Windermere Sun-For Healthier/Happier/More Sustainable Living, Elon Musk Buys Twitter w/$44B – Windermere Sun-For Healthier/Happier/More Sustainable Living
A: “Folks like Donald Trump can say whatever they want is the problem.”
B. “Trump can utter all he wants as long as it is truthful. If it were not, Twitter should label its fact check result & indicates it as being a questionable statement. That is the idea of Freedom of Speech.”
A: “Good luck to Twitter. Donald Trump and his likes will label that as censorship. That’s where the cultural war starts. If I were Musk, I’ll be contented to deal w/engineering stuff. Far more black/white and fruitful to mankind.”
B: “It’s censorship if the statement is not allowed to appear. But if the statement is allowed to appear, with indicator that the statement was fact checked to be refuted by 3,000 reputable sources, then it is not censorship & readers have also been forewarned that it may be a questionable statement. If rules of participation for Twitter is stated in users’ agreement, and same rules applied to all, then Trump or no Trump should have nothing to complain about. Finally, if America’s democracy will be replaced by autocracy, then there may not be any more engineering projects or innovations to speak of. That is why it is very important that Elon Musk buys Twitter. So we will maintain our democracy, with Freedom of Speech, and not let it get out of hand. Elon Musk will save us from autocracy.”
